Surviving Zambales: Anawangin

It has been two weeks since my Zambales trip, and I’m only blogging about it now. It’s really more because of my lousy internet connection (at home, at my office, at my dorm room) that I kept pushing this back. I was scared at first because my closest friends at work didn’t come. You know how I tend to be anti-social, right? But I still had a lot of fun and I think I wasn’t that awkward during the entire trip. My Zambales trip was really something I will never forget because of so many reasons:

  1. It was my first company outing;
  2. The trip was really a test of endurance and not a company outing;
  3. Zambales is just so beautiful.

We went to Pundakit on May 16. We didn’t stay there for long, though. The beach was really pretty. It was still early but the sun’s beating down on us already. After dropping off our luggage, we immediately rode the boat to Anawangin island. If Pundakit was beautiful, Anawangin was just breath-taking. I kind of wish I’m exaggerating. I have no photo to prove my point, though. There’s a river inside the island and even the scene there was gorgeous.

The May Tradition

When I said that I started joining the Santacruzan since the summer I learned how to walk, I wasn’t joking. I learned to walk 2-km straight even before I learned how to drink milk from a glass. I cannot remember a summer from my childhood that I didn’t join the Santacruzan (a.k.a. Flores de Mayo a.k.a. Tapusan a.k.a. Sagala). There were times when I even joined the thing a couple of times during that same summer.

The Happiest Year

Once upon a time I camwhored alone. I had someone to camwhore with but he was unwilling to take photos with me. He had made a lot of excuses but none of it made sense. I wonder how he could be so unwilling to take photos when I would always catch him looking at his reflection everywhere. On a mirror, on side mirrors of car, on car windows, on store windows, pretty much everywhere that shows his reflection. Then one day I found out that when I’m not looking, he even looks at his reflection on my Photo Booth! Turns out it’s actually okay for him to take photos as long as he can see himself in the process.  Thus, our camwhoring began.

It wasn’t easy at first. He had to be in the mood before we could take photos. We had a lot of failed attempts like this:

Mommy’s Day

As I grow older, I realize how I am really like mother. I didn’t see it when I was a child. She hates how I “inherited” her social skills which basically means we both like keeping to ourselves and we don’t really like socializing that much. But I like how this similarity makes her understand me the way other people don’t. I don’t tell everything to my mother but it somehow becomes our bond. She understands the words I couldn’t even tell her. I love her more for it.

To the most beautiful woman in the world who loves me unconditionally. To the fiercest person I know who never lets anyone walk on her and the people she loves, Happy Mother’s Day Mommy! I may not be the sweetest and kindest daughter in the world but I do love you with all my heart. I love you!
